I don't mean any chat program that supports ICQ, like pidgin or empathy.

If there is one fully written just for ICQ in Ubuntu/Linux.

Edited: The reason I want an alternative application, that is for some other programs like pidgin or empathy ICQ is just a part of the project. I want a full program just for ICQ.

    why would you want one, if empathy has all the features? – con-f-use Jun 05 '11 at 14:43

    First thing I don't like it much, Second, The new Icq does not provide Icq number when signing up, and empathy still give me the option to sign using the Icq number. read here : [known Issues](http://www.icq.com/download/icq/knownIssues/en) Also Why not to know if there is an alternative:) – Binarylife Jun 05 '11 at 15:16
  • is ICQ still being used on a large scale? – RolandiXor Jun 05 '11 at 20:50
  • According to [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging#User_base) In 2010 Icq had 50M active users. for Me , I use it maybe everyday , Also it is coming in [linux](http://www.icq.com/download/linux/en) ,but for 32bits and I can't install it! – Binarylife Jun 05 '11 at 21:05
